I never thought that I’d feel so alone So close to you in a crowd of people I don’t even know I used to feel so right with you, but I’ve lost a touch of home It’s taking toll And you’re not who I thought you were, but I loved you by default And I guess I didn’t see you’re not the person that I thought And I know you had some flaws in you and I was willing to live with that But once you made your call, you made your move Yeah this one hit the spot We yell and argue and you keep saying this is it, But it’s not the first time that you’ve thought to abandon ship I make every effort, but I seem to lose my grip It’s getting pretty obvious that we no longer click And you’re not who I thought you were, but I loved you by default And I guess I didn’t see you’re not the person that I thought And I know you had some flaws in you and I was willing to live with that But once you made your call, you made your move Yeah this one hit the spot Wooaahh woah woah Wooaahh woah woah And you’re not who I thought you were, but I loved you by default And I guess I didn’t see you’re not the person that I thought And I know you had some flaws in you and I was willing to live with that But once you made your call, you made your move Yeah this one hit the spot

Well here we are again Another fall of falling through Another fail at an attempt of us What are we to do? To tell if it’s true Time to get over you First times are always sloppy To tell if it’s true Time to to get over you Maybe this’ll do Maybe this’ll do Oh no don’t wanna break your heart again Cause all I ever do is go and give you hope Oh no, I’d rather we be friends instead Cause all I ever do All I ever do All I ever do Is break your heart I can’t tell if this is real Or if it’s all inside my head Well can you tell me what I feel? Or should I end this all instead? Or should I let this all go on? And say we need to take it slow And at the expense of your heart and mine There’s no other way to know To tell if it’s true Time to get over you Maybe this’ll do Maybe this’ll do Oh no don’t wanna break your heart again Cause all I ever do is go and give you hope Oh no, I’d rather we be friends instead Cause all I ever do All I ever do All I ever do Oh no Oh no, I'd rather we be friends instead Cause all I ever do All I ever do All I ever do Is break your heart All I ever do is break your heart

And I am my own cause I am alone I have no one talk to or to call on the phone I long for a touch, but I’m all that I know I have no one to love so I will my own I feel so stuck with this beyond my control Cause I’m sick of this place I’m in, I’m sick of this hole While everyone around me has someone for themselves I’m left here to deal in my personal hell Cause everybody’s in love, but me and I don't know what’s worse And everybody’s in love, but me and I’m left in the dirt I can’t keep this up, I’m not alone but I am The waiting’s impatient and the craving sinks in I keep asking myself when will this come to an end? I’ll never come to my senses, is this who I am? Cause everybody’s in love, but me and I don't know what’s worse And everybody’s in love, but me and I’m left in the dirt I stretch for a hand, but there’s no one to reach Clawing at air, I’ve been strongly deceived Cause what i thought it was wasn’t what it would be Cause there’s no one for me, no there’s no one for me Cause everybody’s in love but me and I don't know what’s worse And everybody’s in love but me and I’m left in the dirt As you crave you decay and it hurts and feels worse Cause you know you’ve got nothing to feel Desperation equals pain when all that’s left to do is wait With the hope that maybe it's real Cause everybody’s in love, but me and I don't know what’s worse And everybody’s in love, but me and I’m left in the dirt And everybody’s in love, but me, woah And everybody’s in love, but me and I’m left in the dirt The pressure’s too much, can’t find my place in this role They say love takes time, but it’s taking its toll

Start Again 03:21
I’ve made a choice and it’s a huge regret It was based off of all my selfishness I didn’t put you in mind You were the last in line And now things have got to change Cause I’ve made a choice and I have to live with it Yes I’ve made a choice and now I can’t forget And I know, and I know And I know, and I know And I know that I’ve messed things up It was never my plan to ruin what we had Can we please start again? It haunts me and it taunts me all day long Our separation was all of my fault And I can still hear your voice, it’s with me where I am Now I can’t escape the pain that I've caused And I know, and I know And I know, and I know And I know that I’ve messed things up It was never my plan to ruin what we had Can we please start again? No I didn’t think it would come down to this Now thanks to me you have to experience What it means to be betrayed, I didn’t plan for it this way All because of that one kiss And I know, and I know And I know, and I know And I know that I’ve messed things up It was never my plan to ruin what we had Can we please start again? And I know, I know if you choose to stay We might not be guaranteed But if you’d left I’d understand, I can’t choose to know your pain I don't blame you, I don’t blame you if you hate me No I don't blame you, I don’t blame you if you hate me No I don't blame you, I don’t blame you if you hate me
